    > cue tired analogies with knife makers not responsible for stabbings The knife maker will be in hot water if you ask them for a knife and you're very specific about how you'll break the law with it, and they just give it to you and do nothing else about it (equivalent to the prompt telling the LLM exactly the illegal thing you want). Even more if the knife they made is illegal, an automatic knife or a dagger (equivalent to the model containing the necessary information to create CSAM).

  It's hard to believe that they didn't know that they had this problem before launching; given the volume of material, it's not like it can be difficult to drag out of the offending magic robot. I'd assume they were just blindsided by the response; they're likely in real danger of getting either DNS-delisted or outright banned in several jurisdictions.
